Wilson completed 31 of 35 passes for 322 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-25 win over the Falcons.

With potentially the best set of pass catchers in his career, Wilson was given a prime opportunity to showcase his talents Sunday as head coach Pete Carroll called just 17 run plays. The star quarterback came out of the gate hot, tossing two touchdowns to Chris Carson before he threw his first incompletion, and he added a 28-yard carry in the first half that put him over 4,000 rushing yards in his career. His efficiency ranked supreme, as he completed 88.6 percent of his passes -- the third-highest rate for a single game (35 attempts minimum) in NFL history -- and averaged a whopping 9.2 yards per attempt. While this was a favorable matchup against the Falcons, it's encouraging to see that Carroll willing to throw the ball early in games. The Seahawks host a much tougher Patriots defense in Week 2.

Mayfield completed 21 of 39 passes for 189 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Browns' 38-6 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also rushed twice for three yards.

For all the talk about a much more structured and likely efficient offense under new coach Kevin Stefanski, the Browns and Mayfield disappointingly began the 2020 campaign looking like they did much of 2019 under one-and-done head man Freddie Kitchens. Mayfield's lackluster line was representative of the caliber of performance he put forth, and naturally the quality of his opponent had a part to play in his struggles as well. The third-year quarterback took two sacks overall, and while he was able to connect with nine different pass catchers, he averaged a meager 4.8 yards per attempt. Mayfield and his teammates will look to regroup quickly, as another AFC North battle awaits Thursday night at home against the Bengals in Week 2.

Jackson completed 20 of 25 pass attempts for 275 yards and three touchdowns, while also running for 45 yards on seven rush attempts during Sunday's 38-6 win against the Browns.

The 2019 MVP was pulled late in the fourth quarter for Robert Griffin, as he had already done his job in leading Baltimore to a 32-point lead, handing the Browns an NFL record 16th-consecutive winless Week 1 in the process. Jackson is now 14-2 in his last 16 regular-season starts, and excluding a 28-12 loss to Tennessee in the AFC divisional round, he has three-plus passing touchdowns in four straight contests dating back to Week 14 of last season. Next up is a showdown against the Texans, a defense that was tied for the fourth-most passing touchdowns allowed to quarterbacks during 2019.

Walker (coach's decision) is inactive for the team's Week 1 contest against the Raiders, Myles Simmons of the Panthers' official site reports.

Walker was battling Will Grier for the backup quarterback job throughout training camp. Though Walker did enough to earn a spot on the roster, Grier beat him out serve as the backup quarterback in Week 1 against the Raiders.

Grier will be the No. 2 quarterback behind Teddy Bridgewater for Sunday's game versus the Raiders, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Grier predictably beat out XFL star P.J. Walker for the backup role to Bridgewater. The 2019 third-round pick logged 87 snaps over two games in his rookie season, and he completed 54 percent of his passes and recorded 4.4 yards per attempt, zero touchdowns and four interceptions.

Luton (coach's decision) is inactive for the teams Week 1 contest against the Colts.

Luton beat out Mike Glennon for a spot on the roster at the end of training camp. However, Glennon will now receive the nod over him to serve as the backup quarterback in Week 1 against the Colts.

Love is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Vikings.

Love will not have any chance to make his NFL debut in Week 1, which comes as little surprise given he heads into the season behind both Aaron Rodgers and Tim Boyle on the Packers' depth chart.

Hurts (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Sunday at Washington.

A healthy scratch to begin his NFL career, the 2020 second-round pick will don street clothes while Nate Sudfeld serves as Carson Wentz's backup. Without an injury to the two quarterbacks in front of him, Hurts may be a regular inactive for the Eagles for the foreseeable future.

White was promoted to the Jets' active roster Saturday.

White beat out David Fales for a spot on the roster as the emergency quarterback and a promotion from the practice squad. So long as Joe Flacco (neck) remains out, White should have the chance to serve as the Jets' third quarterback.

Tagovailoa (hip) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at New England, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

A full participant all week in preparation for his first NFL game, Tagovailoa has recovered from the hip injury that brought an early end to his final campaign at Alabama last November. He'll enter the season as the backup to starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, so it remains to be seen when Tagovailoa will take his first NFL snaps.
